I'm not 100% sure my 940 BE is a dud, just not sure I'm doing everything right. A live help session might prove helpful. Course when I bought it on eBay it said new, was opened but realized it was the wrong CPU, needed AM3 due to board, but had thermal paste on it so not sure if that's 100% true.

Ok, now can I get your opinion on something, with my 940 BE, I can do 18.5x200 with 1.424v in CPU-z, havent tried lower volts, bumped the NB, the HT, and the like SB PLL 1 setting (can get you exact # if youd like), and it will crunch with the cpu at 100% for over 8 hours (ram is stock 800 4-4-4-12 1.9v) for no problems, but no matter what volts i seem to use, or if i do a lower multi and bump the fsb, or just increase the multi, it wont load windows. Now it's been a while since ive oced like i said before, so any guidance you can give would be great.

hey dude, I plan on going AM3 soon since I got a nice tax return. I've been looking at this OCZ DDR3 kit for some time now, it reaches 2000mhz, or is supposed to rather. Anyway, Shadowfold said that AM3's are capped at 1800mhz. Is this true?
